Recycling in Bourbonnais: A Local Guide
Bourbonnais is a village of about 20,000 in Kankakee County, roughly 55 miles south of Chicago on I-57. Three recycling operations serve residents and businesses here: a full-service scrap metal yard with 60-plus years of history, an automated phone-trade-in kiosk inside Walmart, and a commercial pallet recycler.
Belson Steel Center Scrap Inc. at 1685 N State Route 50 is the region's most established recycling option, open since 1960 and processing over 100,000 tons of material annually. The yard buys ferrous metals, copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, household appliances, electronics, cell phones, and electric motors. Hours are Monday–Friday 8 AM–3:30 PM and Saturday 8 AM–noon. Container drop-off and pickup service is available for businesses — call (815) 932-7416.
Inside the Walmart Supercenter at 2080 N State Route 50, the ecoATM kiosk (Grocery Vestibule) accepts smartphones, tablets, iPods, and foldable phones for instant cash — seven days a week, roughly 7 AM–10 PM. A valid state-issued photo ID is required. This Walmart-based unit is the only ecoATM in Bourbonnais that accepts tablets; the Kroger location on Armour Rd does not.
Universal Pallet Inc. at 1166 E 6000N Rd handles wooden pallet recycling and resale for commercial and industrial customers, Monday–Friday 9 AM–5 PM. It is primarily a trade account operation — call (815) 928-8546 before bringing a load.
For general curbside recycling, Bourbonnais households are served through Village collection contracts. Kankakee County periodically schedules HHW and e-waste collection events for items not accepted at any of these three sites. Nearby cities with additional options include Kankakee and Bradley.
